The Dog Food Diet

Good luck! When I saw the thread title, I immediately thought somebody had reposted this:
Yesterday I was buying 2 large bags of dog food at Wal-Mart. I was about to check out when a woman behind me asked if I had a dog. What did she think I had – an elephant?
Since I had little else to do, on impulse, I told her that no I didn’t have a dog, and that I was starting the Purina Diet again, although I probably shouldn’t because I ended up in the hospital last time. On the bright side though, I had lost 50 pounds before I awakened in an intensive care ward with tubes coming out of every hole in my body and IVs in both arms.
I told her that it was essentially a perfect diet and that the way that it works is to load your pockets with Purina nuggets and simply eat one or two every time you feel hungry and that the food is nutritionally complete so I was going to give it a try again. (I have to mention here that everyone in the line was enthralled with my story by now.)
Horrified, she asked if I ended up in intensive care because the dog food had poisoned me. I told her no; I had stopped in the middle of the parking lot to scratch my fleas and a car hit me.
I thought the guy behind her was going to have a heart attack, he was laughing so hard.
Wal-Mart won’t let me shop there anymore.
OMG totally stealing this!!

Isn't there some other less degrading and negative thing you can do? Why do you feel the need to punish yourself? Maybe I'm reading to much into it and it's just a funny thing for you..idk. Best of luck on your goal.
I am not going to punish myself, because I am not going to fail

but yet in another topic you say you can't stay away from the potluck going on in your office, even knowing that dog food faces you if you do not!0 -
